Strap for Superocean Steelfish

The lug width of the Breitling Superocean A1739010C666112X is 22mm. This measurement should be taken internally between the two lugs using a vernier calliper pressed directly against the case, to ensure correct compatibility with any replacement strap.

The ideal choice depends on the intended use. For marine or sporting environments, a recycled nylon NATO strap or a vulcanised rubber strap provide waterproofing and durability. For more formal occasions, a semi-matt alligator or a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap paired with a steel deployant clasp enhances the Superocean's presence while preserving its instrumental character.

To replace the strap, use a fine-tipped springbar tool. Compress the spring bar located within the lug, remove the original strap, and fit the new one ensuring the spring bar engages correctly on both sides. Work on a soft surface to protect the case from scratches during the operation.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm attachment width is compatible with the Breitling Superocean A1739010C666112X. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted Made in Italy straps in various materials — nylon, leather, alligator, rubber — all available in 22mm and interchangeable without any modification to the case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the hide, the tanning process and the conditions of use. A well-crafted vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, kept away from water and moisture, can last between 2 and 5 years. For frequent marine use, a nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber strap is recommended, reserving leather for dry environments.
